well, 2.0.36 has prooven itself stable to use. i have a couple patches in it, but probably the biggest thing is my main machines use software raid, i've read about some problems in 2.2.x raid and am not confident upgrading to 2.2.x will make everything run as stable as it does now. i am about 1500 miles away from those machines so if something critical happened and reverting to the old kernel didnt fix it i'd be looking at at least a week of downtime while someone ships the drives to me to look at/repair.
although the prospects of making better use of the 2nd processor in this machine on a 2.2.x kernel are nice, i think i will hold off until we physically replace the whole machine before i go for a new kernel rev and new distribution(potato). this machine being up for almost 6 months makes me confident this kernel is good. nate On Mon, 31 Jan 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: TKWJ3 >Why 2.0.36 on your most important boxes?
